Ships move 2 parsecs per turn faster between systems. Can build ships before researching any FTL (faster-than-light) drives. Ships have a +4 increase in combat speed, giving tactical flexibility as well as increasing their beam defense. Not affected by "Hyperspace Flux" random events. | Ships move 2 parsecs per turn faster between systems. Can build ships before researching any FTL (faster-than-light) drives.

Excellent pick for blitz strategies | ''Excellent pick for blitz strategies'' especially when combined with the Telepathic ability. It allows you to travel between star systems more quickly, since it is effectively the equivalent of starting out with ''Ion Drives'' from the get-go. In early space battles, the extra combat speed is useful for both ships and it's fighters (but does not affect missiles). If you research ''Fighter Bays'', this allows you to build ships earlier since carrier ships are cheaper than missile boats, and fighters have the added benefit of being unaffected by an eventual Ecm Jammer that migh appear on enemy's Star Bases. | ||
